The Unsuccessful Treatment of Diabetes

By Kathryn Colton Shaw

I have been hearing from God since I was a child.  He would show me things that were going to happen, and then over the years I would be amazed as those events took place just as He said they would.  In 2002 God spoke to my spirit saying, “Diabetes is a lie!”   He told me I would come in contact with other Christian leaders who had diabetes and that I was to deliver that message to them.  Oddly enough, I did not have diabetes at that time.  From 2004 to 2006 I came in contact with three Christian leaders who did have diabetes, and I told them that God revealed to me that it was a lie.  At this time I had no scientific evidence of this very bold statement.  All that I had was what God spoke to me and nothing to actually prove it.  They would look at me like, “…umm okay,” and they would brush me off.  After all, like I said I had no evidence other than God’s words spoken, and for me that was enough!

In 2003 I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes.  The doctor at that time was a young student.  His advice to me was to keep moving and he referred me to a dietician.  The visit to the dietician was the same old story, “Eat whole grains like oats, wheat breads and multigrain cereals, plenty of fruits and vegetables.  He also gave me the formula to follow for my meals which were, “three meals a day, each at 45 grams of carbs and two snacks of 15 grams of carbs each a day.”  I was told to lower my sodium even though my sodium levels were fine.

The young student doctor was transferred so I began seeing a different doctor.  He was concerned about pre-diabetes so he put me on a 1200 calorie diet.  This literally killed me because I was on a blood pressure pill that was a diuretic and the new diet did not help to keep my potassium at a healthy level.  One morning after breakfast, my husband went downstairs to his office and I remained upstairs and went to my computer to answer some prayer requests.  I was feeling fine until I sat down on my chair.  Then all of a sudden I felt sick to my stomach with severe pains.  So I pushed the intercom button to tell my husband to pray for me.  I ran to the bathroom and as soon as I sat down I felt a spinning sensation just above my heart.  At the same time I started to lose consciousness.  I did not want to pass out while sitting on the toilet so I got up, stamped my foot on the floor to alert my husband, and ran to my bedroom.  I knew I had to get to the bed.  My symptoms were getting worse so I made a leap for the bed and only made it partially with my upper body on the bed.  I heard myself breathing rapidly and very hard until I took my last breath.

My husband heard me stomp on the floor and he came up thinking I was joking.  When he arrived, he saw that my eyes were a different color and that I was taking my last breath.  He called 911 and then grabbed my feet and started praying while the operator put him on hold to alert an ambulance.  After he prayed I went back into my body with a thud and I screamed, “Where am I?”  I was between two realms and was fighting to get back.  To make a long story short, from being on the diuretic drug and a 1200 calorie diet my potassium went so low that it stopped my heart.  Through the prayers of my husband, God brought me back!  When I got to the hospital, they could not find one thing wrong with me.

By 2005 I had full-blown type 2 diabetes and still, I refused to take any medications because I believed God that it was a lie.  I did not want to get into situations where your blood sugar would get so low that you would go into a coma or to have amputations.  I placed my faith in God and that He would show me what was the lie about diabetes.  Over the years, hospitals/doctors kept insisting that I take insulin but I knew in my heart that it was not the right thing to do and I stood by it.

In December of 2017, I came across a book by Dr. William Davis titled “Undoctored: Why Healthcare Has Failed You and How You Can Become Smarter Than Your Doctor.”  My husband and I were amazed at how we eat in this country!  We learned that what we eat was much more important than how much we eat.  We were shocked at the evidence provided how greed has driven the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.  What really grabbed our attention was what Dr. Davis said about diabetes.  That was the incentive that drove us to find more details that would support this new premise of treatment for diabetes.

I was absolutely ecstatic!  God had finally brought me the evidence in His timing and the answer to most all diseases is FOOD!!  Isn’t it like God to have the simplest answers to the most pressing problems we face today?  I will share with you on this site the books, videos, websites, blogs and Facebook pages which my husband and I have followed to change our lives.
